"Please Kovu, don't do this, Kiara will never forgive you!" Simba begged. "Today, Simba, it's your time to go. And tomorrow, it's my time to shine, as the king of the Pridelands!" saying this, Kovu bate Simba's throat. There was some weak resistance for a moment, but then it was over. Simba was dead.
"No! I'm not like that!" Kovu screamed out while waking up. He saw that it was long after dawn, and that there wasn't anyone else in the sleeping cave. Kiara came in, with a worried face. "What happened?" she asked him, very curious. "Nothing, just a bad dream. Sorry for bothering you." Kiara sighed hearing him say that. "You know Kovu, you can always tell me everything. It's been two days since you and the former outlanders moved in, and you haven't had one good night since. So you can better tell me now, before next night will be like the last two." This time, Kovu sighed. He thought for a short moment, and then started to talk. " Allright, I'm having dreams where I'm killing your father. I don't have a single idea why, but I just can't get rid of the idea. It's like I'm brainwashed. Every time I see him, I'm getting weird thoughts about killing him… It's really scary! I know I'm not like that anymore, but why am I still getting these thoughts?" Kovu said. Just outside of the cave, Nala overheard them talking, and after hearing this, she walked away. "Come on Kovu, maybe it's just that killing my father has been your life's goal for so long, you can't just let it go. But I'm sure it won't take long for you to get used to everything here, even my father." After saying that, Kiara licked Kovu's check, and then walked out of the cave. "Are you coming? Mom has caught us some Antilope this morning!" Kovu followed her out of the cave, and they started eating the piece of Antilope.
Simba was a little bored. This was his kingdom, how big was the chance anyone would even try to get in, and even if they managed to do so, what threat could they mean? Still, taking a guarding walk every morning was one of the king's duties, so he had to. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain is his back. He looked around. There was a cheetah that was trying to hit him another time, but he jumped aside. Taking another look, he saw two more cheetahs closing in. The first cheetah stopped, and kept a little distance. "Fighting is useless, just like running is. We've got you surrounded Simba, king of the Pridelands!" it said. "If I can't run, and neither can fight, I think you suppose me to just do nothing, while you're killing me? Even if I can't win, I'm not totally crazy. Prepare!" saying that, he roared as loud as he could, hoping for someone to hear it. "Fast, wound him! We can't possible win a fight when he has reinforcements! And you know it! We want him alive, otherwise we can't trade him for the kingdom!" saying that, he and over twenty other cheetahs jumped on Simba, hurting him lightly where they could. After less than a minute, Simba fell down, groaning because of all the pain. "You two! Carry him!" as ordered, two cheetahs got under Simba, and started carrying him away from the battlefield.
Just when they got out of sight, Nala arrived. And quickly after her, more lions, and with them, Kiara and Kovu. Nala started crying. "There's been a fight here. And if I recognized the roar right, it's Simba who's been attacked." she cried. "There are cheetah footprints here!" one of the lions said. Suddenly, Nala stopped crying, and turned around. You could see she was extremely angry. "Aren't the cheetahs your friends, Kovu? And if I overheard you right, you kept thinking and even dreaming about killing my dear Simba, didn't you? I already know what happened. Our Kovu here, told his cheetah friends to kill our loved king, Simba, so he could be king himself! But, because we're not totally sure Simba's dead yet, I, the queen, will be the ruler over the Pridelands, until we know what happened to Simba. And my first job as the ruling queen, is the following! Kovu, until you can prove this wasn't your idea, you're banished! You have to be out of the Pridelands within the hour, otherwise you'll be killed. Be gone now!" Nala roared at Kovu. "Mother, no! You can't do this! Kovu has proven to be trustworthy, more than once! It's nonsense to banish him!" Kiara cried. "Don't worry, Kiara. I'll prove it to everyone; I'm not guilty!" Kovu said. He licked Kiara's cheek, and then ran off, following the footprints of the cheetahs.
